Q. What would you tell your younger self?
A. Find work you love; believe you can do anything; and know there’s no straight path to where you’re going. When you believe in what you are doing, you can combine passion with contribution – and that is a true gift. Keep trying and you will find what you love to do… and once you do, you will crush it.
